The Redskins got a jump on their 2020 coaching search when they fired Jay Gruden early in the 2019 NFL season. After Gruden’s Week 5 departure, the Redskins were able to pick and choose their targets on the coaching market and settled on Ron Rivera once he was fired by the Carolina Panthers.
While other teams were firing their coaches on Black Monday, the Redskins moved to secure Rivera as their coach. And now, his staff is starting to come into focus.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Redskins had already made a number of hires including naming Scott Turner offensive coordinator.
